Antigay Group Wants Two Liberal Justices Off Marriage Case
I do have to admit they are winning the war on one front... BEING REALLY FUCKING ANNOYING!
When the U.S. Supreme Court takes up marriage equality, many court watchers are predicting a split decision, with the court’s four liberal justices ruling for equal marriage rights, the four conservatives against, and Justice Anthony Kennedy as the swing vote who’ll make the difference. But now one of the nation’s leading antigay hate groups wants two of the liberals to take themselves out of the mix.
The American Family Association says Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan should recuse themselves from hearing the marriage case the court has accepted because both have officiated same-sex marriage ceremonies.
“Both of these justices’ personal and private actions that actively endorse gay marriage clearly indicate how they would vote on same-sex marriage cases before the Supreme Court,” said AFA president Tim Wildmon in a press release issued Friday. “Congress has directed that federal judicial officers must disqualify themselves from hearing cases in specified circumstances. Both Kagan and Ginsburg have not only been partial to same-sex marriage but they have also proven themselves to be activists in favor of it. In order to ensure the Court’s integrity and impartiality, both should recuse themselves from same-sex marriage cases. Congress has an obligation to Americans to see that members of the Supreme Court are held to the highest standards of integrity. The law demands it, and the people deserve it.” The organization is urging its supporters to write their members of Congress, demanding that the elected officials demand the justices’ recusal.
